Ceramics 101

For the past 10 weeks, I've been taking a ceramics class. After what seemed like a long wait, my instructor finally was able to do the glaze firing. The pick up was delayed last week by Hurricane Irene (what wasn't delayed??). Finally, tonight we were about to retrieve our masterpieces! Take a look.

The piece de resistance-my first mug.

Serving tray. With sort of an unintended 80's vibe. Guess I'll go with it. Bird shaped plate with lace imprint. Might try this again with a lighter glaze. The glaze masked the lace.

Small blue bowl. Plan on using this for paper clips at work.

Planter. (Has a hole at the bottom that I neglected to photograph.) Probably my least favorite, but useful.
